We performed intake and digestibility studies in four common (Hippopotamus amphibius) and four pygmy (Hexaprotodon liberiensis) hippos from two zoological institutions, using acid detergent lignin as… (More)

Although several aspects of the digestive physiology of the hippopotamidae-non-ruminating foregut fermenters-have been described, ingesta kinetics and passage characteristics of these species are not… (More)

The peccary digestive tract is characterised by an elaborate forestomach. In order to further characterise the digestive function of peccaries, we report body mass, digestive organ mass, content mass… (More)

This article provides an overview of ongoing research within the framework ScaleNet 1. Considering IP as the basis transport scheme, the wireless and the wireline world have just started to move… (More)

Linkage analysis between the genes coding for immunoglobulin heavy-chain allotypes and variants of some serum alpha-protease inhibitors produced lod scores above the significance limit of 3. The… (More)

Brush borders or enterocytes obtained from the small intestine of 248 pedigreed pigs were tested by adhesion assay in vitro with enterotoxigenic Escherichia (E.) coli strains, each expressing one of… (More)

A method is proposed which yields an approximate solution of the Free-Wilson model very rapidly without using a computer. Although the resulting group contributions are numerically somewhat different… (More)
